Bee happy ..... back from a road trip

Mr Happy and I have just returned from another European road trip.

We had a great time and had some dry and sunny weather, in Chantilly the temperature was 24 degrees. The chateau was just gorgeous and we more or less had the gardens to ourselves most of the time. In Switzerland there was still snow laying around but is wasn't too cold.

Are you planning a holiday or road trip?

More tunnels

We started our holiday in Reims, France and then onto Switzerland.

We drove the Alp roads into Northern Italy with a view to finding some James Bond locations in Lake Como. Managed to stay in the hotel at the side of one location, where James is recovering in Casino Royale when the Swiss banker visits for the money code.

After Lake Como we drove through Liechtenstein and then Austria onto Stuttgart, Germany to visit the Porsche museum.

On to Reims again and then back home. We couldn't leave Reims without buying champagne!

Now I am back I can't wait to catch up with you all and start crafting again.

Bee happy ... have a few day trips

Husband had last week off work so we decided to go out for a few day trips.

First off was a visit to the Trafford Centre again and a look in Selfridges.  While I was browsing PIP products husband wandered off for a while. He has the attention span of a small child but this time it worked in my favour as he came back with a CK bag in his hand.

He had bought me a present bless him.

My new PIP plate and mug to match my bowl
I bought a few weeks ago.

When I opened my present from husband it was this gorgeous bag to use on our day trips.

Inside the bag I found some CK badges as well :)

On Tuesday we went to the Lake District and headed straight to Grasmere, love it here.

Lots of cute sheep about with their lambs.

We also stopped off at Keswick and went to the James Bond Museum, husband loved it here, he took loads of photos.  If you like James Bond it is definitely worth a visit, loads of cars and memorabilla from the films.

We had a day at Whitby and Scarborough and then a couple of days at home around the garden in the lovely weather. 

Updated my sewing corner, photos later.

Have a delicious day!
